Not very good [Posted on 2008-01-19]
Here is my story...after two attempts to purchase this joiner, I went with the PC 557. Both of the Dewalt models I bought had their fences racked which caused the biscuit slots to be cut on an angle. Cutting a #20 slot was off about 1/8" from left to right. Plus, reports of the chute clogging are true. It was worth $30.00 more to get the PC.
dewalt biscuit joiner issue [Posted on 2008-02-19]
This product is poorly built. The stop is made with flimsy pot metal about 1 mm thick. Mine broke after 1 use. Just looking at it you can see it is weak but I could not from the internet pictures. Harbor Freight, Makita,Hitachi, and Ryobi have a better products at less than half the price!

For a tool with the lowest price, I'm totally satisfied. My younger brother stole my last one, so I needed another joiner. No need to change what works !!
Piece of Junk [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I purchased a factory reconditioned (with full warranty) DeWalt plate joiner. Not only was it missing a pin on which the miter swivels up and down, but the blade cut far too deep, no matter how much I adjusted it. I had to stick a 16p nail in the missing hole to keep the miter from flopping around while working. It was a good thing I made many test cuts since it cut far deep. For example, on setting "0" it cut so deep that a "0" biscuit completely disappeared in the cut. I was finally able to crank the fine depth adjustment down so that on "0" setting I could use a "10" biscuit. I normally purchase DeWalt by default since I have never had anything but good luck with them, but boy did I get screwed on this one. Fortunately the retailer is taking it back based on the 90 day money back guarantee. I am honestly not sure I want to chance another DeWalt joiner at this time.
Great Tool [Posted on 2008-05-05]
I order this tool for a special project and was ready to use it as soon I got it out of the box. I started to cut the first joint and the handle collasped forward and smashed by fingers. On closer inspection I found that the threads in one side of the handle were stripped completely out. With care I continued to use the tool to finish the project. Later I filled the hole with metal epoxy and re-threaded it. I am sure dewalt would have made it good but I didn't have time. Somewhat dissapointed but the tool works great if you keep your fingers "from between the bricks"
